Location: CO : Kelly Cordes Needs Our Help
By: Kelly Cordes When: Feb 20, 2010 | view comment >> | Comments: Thanks much, everyone. Went well, Kirra, thank you. Had to keep me an extra day (had hoped to get out Thurs), as the nerve block wore off way too fast, after only about 12 hrs (they planned/thought 24-48; apparently it can vary a lot with individual things, metabolism, etc.) which left me in excruciating pain late Wed night. So, they kept me Thurs/Thurs night to get it under control, got out Fri and am ok now, just loopy from the pain meds. Sucks b/c it makes me stupider than normal.

It'll inspire me in the coming months until I can walk again. Nothing like a little alcoholism to pass the time. But hey, they say you should do what you do best, so I won't argue.

Thx for the follow-up, Doug. Very, very nice of you -- really appreciate it. Hoping it won't wreck me, I have insurance, though super high deductible and by the time I'm done with the things they weasel out of paying, we'll see how broke I am. Funny how they don't weasel out o... more >>

--just to confirm for folks: yes, that's correct. you can lower off with a 60m, and belay a TR, but ya need to go uphill and tie into your ends.

By: Kelly Cordes When: Sep 4, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Sorry for the delay, Bill -- actually, I'd say the given 5.9/10a rating for pitch 7 is about right. No harder than 5.10, anyway, and not really runout -- though, indeed, it *looks* much worse. That's the cool thing about it, it's a pleasant surprise!

Location: CO : Estes Park Valley : CO Hwy 7 & Tributaries : The Crags : Wizard's Gate
By: Kelly Cordes When: Aug 27, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: What an awesome crag -- many thanks to Jonathan and his crew for putting up some terrific routes here (and thanks for the tour!). Though currently not a ton of routes at this particular spot, it's possibly the best single-pitch crag (i.e. not including Lumpy, the Park, etc) around Estes, IMO. Really cool rock and great climbing, in a truly gorgeous setting. Well worth the visit, and hopefully more routes will go in -- seems there's plenty of potential for more.

By: Kelly Cordes When: Aug 25, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Hi Bill, good post...indeed, "Lost at Sea" on pitch 7, as the guidebook descriptions don't help much and the topos seem super improbable -- ya look up and wonder how in the heck the two discontinuous, angling corners shown in the topos could possibly connect? Looks like blank face climbing between them.
We climbed the route yesterday, had a great time, and it's fresh in my mind. (BTW, saw some fresh chalk...maybe yours?) I trust I'm not killing anyone's adventure here, or else they wouldn't be... more >>

By: Kelly Cordes When: Feb 7, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Though I'm no Bill Shakespeare, here's some unsolicited advice for landing writing jobs:
1. Click the "for more information" link in the ad. It shows ambition, if only a tiny bit. Your questions are answered there.
2. Notice the bottom line on their Writer's Guidelines page. Not trying to be a dick here, I know it's just the Internet, but this is sincere advice since you've signed your name to a post in which you sound interested in applying for some writing work: It's "stories" not "story's."... more >>

Location: CO : Estes Park Valley : Lumpy Ridge : Batman Rock
By: Kelly Cordes When: May 24, 2008 | view comment >> | Comments: Howdy Brad -- I'm pretty sure that Batman & Robin is closed due to the raptor nesting restrictions (update: yup, found it here:
www.nps.gov/romo/planyourvisit/area_closures.htm ).
It's a bit frustrating sometimes, in that I'm pretty sure they don't list all the closures at the trailhead. I could have just missed it, or maybe someone had torn down one of them or something. Anyway, the other day I didn't see the Batman area closure posted at the trailhead, so I started heading up that way... more >>
